Affording incredible views of the Disney landscape from the 15th floor of Disney's Contemporary Resort, this fashionable, long-time favorite has undergone a recent "reimagining," and now features a design inspired by mid-century modern California and an updated menu with exciting additions – but retention of a few old faves, one of which is the sublime oak-fired filet of beef with heirloom tomato risotto, baby vine tomatoes, petite basil and tomato butter. Meat lovers will also find the 24-hour short rib "filet" a melt-in-your-mouth experience. With new floor-to-ceiling windows expanding its already sweeping 360-degree vistas, steak (and seafood, and sushi, and dessert, etc. and so forth ad nauseum) lovers will find a thousand things to enjoy at California Grill, from its menu to its atmosphere.
